The New South Wales Industrial Relations Commission has handed down a decision finding that the state’s psychiatrists should receive a 20% pay increase.
The case comes after 200 psychiatrists threatened to resign in January, saying it was not about the money but being unable to continue working in a system causing them moral injury, knowing they were providing substandard care to their patients when one in three permanent psychiatrists positions were vacant.
